Maynard James Keenan, turned 60 and wants the world to know about it! All out celebrating in a class by itself, with a roster of musicians\/friends throughout the \u201cSessanta\u201d Tour, including a sold-out, one night stand at Wintrust Arena. This epic lineup of A Perfect Circle, Primus and Puscifer could of easily sold-out multiple nights, but this wasn\u2019t in the cards for Chicago. This single night exclusive made it that much more special.<\/div>\n

A Perfect Circle kicked off the night perfectly running through \u201cThe Package,\u201d \u201cDisillusioned\u201d and \u201cThe Contrarian\u201d with Puscifer\u2019s Carina Round, helping with vocals, guitarist Billy Howerdel and bassist Matt McJunkins. The mini set did not end without Keenen mentioning the night would be free of all handheld devices. No doubt, social media will notice this absence, but it did make the night more enjoyable.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Next up was Primus, with vocalist\/bassist Les Claypool, guitarist Larry LaLonde and drummer Tim Alexander, thundering their way through \u201cThose Damned Blue-Collar Tweekers\u201d through \u201cFollow The Fool.\u201d Claypool did take a moment to wish Keenan a happy birthday and then proceeded to poke fun at his cursing at crowds about their cell phones. Post Primus exploding set, Keenan and Round returned with Mat Mitchell for Puscifer\u2019s turn to add their footprint to the night\u2019s festivities, going through \u201cGalileo,\u201d \u201cTiny Monsters\u201d and \u201cIndigo Children.\u201d<\/div>\n

The night included more set rotations including Primus\u2019 \u201cTommy The Cat,\u201d Puscifer taking the \u201cBullet Train To Iowa\u201d and Alexander joining A Perfect Circle on \u201cThe Hollow,\u201d amongst the several others. The final stretch included A Perfect Circle\u2019s \u201cKindred\u201d and Primus\/Keenan\u2019s take on \u201cPablo\u2019s Hippos.\u201d With just five minutes left on the clock, all musicians came to the stage for Puscifer\u2019s \u201cGrand Canyon.\u201d This was the perfect ending of the perfect concert and thanks to the birthday boy, there is proof as he gave his blessing to film the final song.<\/div>\n
